The Women of The Seven ♀️

The Women of The Seven ♀️

Whitney Due to her unattainable beauty, Whitney is often judged purely on her looks. She has always taken immense pride in her appearance, and will never be caught looking dishevelled. Despite having a pretty face, she won't take shit from anyone, and prefers her own company opposed to that of others. Wednesday's Child is Full of Woe, and Whitney has the ability to control the elements based on her emotions. After decades of training, she's a master of her craft. It's best not to piss her off, or it could be the last thing you do.

Thursday Madness incarnate, Thursday lives her life on a knife's edge, throwing her lot into the wind and enjoying where the debris lands. Often described as unpredictable, chaos in a bottle, and a wind up merchant, Thursday has never cared about how the rest of the world thinks she should behave. As Thursday's Child, she has the ability to fly and blast energy from her hands, a power that will help her go far. If you ever find yourself in Thursday's company, it's best to placate her. You never know what she's going to do next.

Sybil The devil works hard, but Sybil works harder. The long-suffering leader of The Seven has dedicated her life to housing, training and guiding the rest of her family. Never able to remain idle, Sybil always has to have a job or task to fulfill. Without work to do, she quickly goes stir crazy. Fluent in numerous languages, over thirty degrees spanning the twentieth century, experience in an uncountable amount of jobs, Sybil can't stop. Mainly because she doesn't want to. Blessed with telekinesis to aid her working hard for a living, Sybil may be empathetic, but don't push her. There's a reason she's the leader of The Seven.

I love my main ladies so much! Happy International Women's Day ♀️

Live Interview with Nikita Rogers, Creator of Belfast Books and Ballgowns

I had a total blast chatting with Nikita Rogers, the amazing creator of Belfast Books and Ballgowns, last Sunday. We talked about our reading preferences, the perils of editing and found an unexpected bond over written RPGs. I was pleasantly surprised to have a couple of readers pop in to ask about my characters and compliment my work!

I can't thank Nikita enough for making me feel safe and comfortable to open up and talking with her has refreshed my excitement for the convention in June

Update on my YouTube Channel

Plans for the future of my YouTube channel in 2025

I fully intend to return to uploading videos that aren't just shorts in 2025. For anyone who missed it, I broke my leg last July and that has consumed my life for the last seven months. I want to return to making fresh content, but I've also got to prioritize my university work and health at the same time. Because of this, I won't give a date for my full return just yet. But just know that it's coming.

In the meantime, the brief but concerning ban of Tiktok in the USA made me realize that none of my Tiktok videos are backed up on another app. As such, I will be slowly uploading my old and new Tiktok videos to my YouTube channel via YouTube shorts. This will include Doctor Who, Hunger Games and personal comedy content. These videos go back as far as 2020 so please be patient with me as I back up my work. And, hey, you might even enjoy it!

I want to thank everyone who are still here after my long absence. Your support means everything to me. I hope to see y'all soon when I'm able to return fully to my channel .

I love you all,

Thank you ❤️

Thank you to everyone who has been part of my 2024, especially those who were there for me during one of the most difficult times in my life. I love you all. I can't wait to continue my writing journey in 2025 ️
